The following NetMAX products have been discontinued:
  • NetMAX Internet Server Suite
  • NetMAX File Server
  • NetMAX Firewall Suite
  • NetMAX Internet Server ProSuite
  • NetMAX Web Server
  • NetMAX Firewall


If you have and version 3.x of these products, and want to upgrade to latest version, it is possible. Since they are discontinued, you will need to purchase a full license and not an upgrade. However, its still possible. Just follow these steps:
  1. Purchase the necessary license in the NetMAX store.
  2. For NetMAX Firewall and NetMAX Firewall Suite version 3.x, you will need to purchase NetMAX Firewall ProSuite version 4.0x.
  3. For NetMAX File Server, NetMAX Internet Server ProSuite, and NetMAX Web Server 3.x, you will need to purchase NetMAX Professional Suite version 4.0x.
  4. After you obtain the license number for the software you purchased, remove the current license number for your product. Do this in System -> License Management.
  5. Next, add the new license number you purchased in License Management.
  6. You should now be able to upgrade using the CD you purchased (or downloaded and burned). Simply follow the normal upgrade procedure in the manual from here on out.

Note that NetMAX versions older than 3.0 are not upgradable to 4.0x. You must do a complete reinstall and start from scratch if you have one of those versions, and would like our new product.
